Radical Heights’ Cliffy B had lots of game ideas, did not disclose studio closure to employees first

Alas, poor Cliff Bleszinski, forced to give up on so many game ideas after the closure of Boss Key Productions. If you’re interested in Bleszinski’s various early concepts, he’s posted a few on Twitter: DragonFlies (a dragon-riding air combat game), DogWalkers (a VR mech shooter with multiple people playing different parts of a mech), and Donuts (described as “Mario Kart with animals on water in VR”). You can choose for yourself whether or not these games would have likely been successful, although the term “VR” is showing up there an awful lot; these are still the very early stages of concept design, so it’s impossible to know. If only we hadn’t all collectively decided to play other games instead of LawBreakers and Radical Heights! Oh, if only there were some way to ameliorate that feeling of guilt over the creativity lost… oh, like finding out that Cliffy B decided to post the closure notice on Twitter rather than informing Radical Heights lead producer Ron LaJoie that the studio was shutting down directly. Yes, that cuts down the guilt quite nicely. Especially when LaJoie states he had to find out from his 10-year-old daughter that he no longer had a job. Source: Twitter via Kotaku SHARE THIS ARTICLE
